He said He would love all of me
And this I found hard to believe
I could hardly believe
That He said this so confidently
'Cause honestly, I have trouble
Even loving all of myself
Yet here He stands, insisting that I not hold back
And I, wanting so terribly to trust Him
I let go and let myself be

And I feel so free
And for a moment, I don't know or care
Whether I'm falling or flying
Just as long as I'm airborne
There's love in the air, and it fills me
It completes me
Though I do wonder what it is about me
That causes Him to overlook the shadowy places of my heart
But I can put fear behind me
"Cause love...love lifted me
'Cause He said He would love all of me
And I haven't fallen yet
Nor will I ever fall again.
